Vehicle emissions are responsible for the distribution of harmful gases, which include carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Together, these gases cause ground level smog that aggravates breathing difficulties.
Reduce the emissions your car generates by following these simple tips!
1. Don’t idle the engine: A modern car is designed to work efficiently as soon as it starts, so you don’t need to start the engine and let it warm up before you drive. Not even on cold winter mornings.
2. Drive with windows up: If you keep your windows up, your car will be subject to less drag, which improves the aerodynamic profile of the vehicle. Therefore, cars driven with the windows up are proven to achieve much higher MPG.
3. Service regularly: This one can’t be overstated enough. If you want to make sure that your car performs at peak efficiency then you’ll have to get it serviced on a regular basis. Get the oil checked, swap out the brakes, check the exhaust etc. The idea is that a well-kept car will consume less fuel, pump out fewer greenhouse gases and also last longer, which in the long run helps the environment and your bank balance.
4. Carpool: Organized carpooling with your co-workers has quite a few advantages. You actively reduce air pollution, increase outdoor air quality by having one car on the road instead of two or more. Also, carpooling saves you money and everybody can do it – you might even form some new friendships.
5. Hybrid Options: If you’re purchasing a new car, opt for a hybrid! Not only will you be reducing emissions while you drive, you'll also be sending a positive message to the car industry by your endorsement of the ‘green’ car.
